Pioneer CU donates 23000 from Packers parking

GREEN BAY, Wis. (1/24/11)--Pioneer FCU donated more than $23,000 to local non-profit groups in Green Bay by taking advantage of its location near Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. The $445 million asset credit union's main office is a few blocks from the popular, usually sold-out stadium. During the 2010 season, the credit union charged for parking in its parking lot and an adjacent lot. All monies collected during the 10 home games for the season went to area charities (WFRV.com Jan. 21). The charities were chosen by Pioneer employees, who volunteered to attend the lots and collect the money. They included the Boy Scouts of America, The Salvation Army, Humane Society and others. The Packers were in the playoffs this past weekend for the National Football Conference championship against the Chicago Bears. The winner of that match will play in the Super Bowl XLV.
